Interviews with a subset of respondents provided descriptive accounts of their experiences of moral/civic learning connected with their college experiences. Participants (n=640) were drawn from 11 U.S. colleges and universities. Surveys were conducted in winter 2018-2019 and fall 2021. Fifty-four survey respondents participated in hour-long interviews in spring 2021. Most survey respondents’ aspirations were stable over 3 years, with most focusing on contribution beyond-the-self, fulfillment and preparation for vocations. Only a small percentage focused on financial goals or credentialing. Aspirations to contribute beyond-the-self were expressed even more frequently in interviews. When asked to describe what they had learned in courses and extracurricular activities and in their relationships with peers and adults, interviewees described learning relating to ethics and virtue, social justice and civic issues.KEYWORDS: Purposefulfillmentcollege studentsgoals AcknowledgmentsWe are grateful to Lillian Wolfe for her excellent help with interview coding and to Lisa Staton for her valuable contributions to many aspects of the project.Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Notes1. For the sake of simplicity, this study used a dichotomous designation for purpose, as coded from interview material. In taking this approach, we do not mean to imply that the purpose construct is best understood as dichotomous, treating purpose as fully present or entirely absent. The larger study of purpose development in college, of which this study is a part, includes a survey measure of purpose as a continuous variable and also analyses that identify four developmentally distinct purpose statuses described by Malin (Citation2022) as dabbling, dreaming, drifting, and full purpose. In our current analyses, which focus primarily on college students’ goals and experiences of moral/civic learning, the four purpose statuses are reduced to two categories, designating the presence or absence of full purpose. Findings using the continuous measure and the 4-category purpose status designations are reported elsewhere (Malin, Citation2022; Malin, et al., Citationunder review).Additional informationFundingThis research was funded by the Mellon Foundation [grant number 31700630].Notes on contributorsAnne ColbyAnne Colby is Adjunct Professor of Education at Stanford University.

With this in mind and utilizing a mixed-method approach, this paper presents the qualitative changes in cognitive complexity and moral reasoning observed in a group of Amazonian indigenous adults after their participation in an intercultural moral education program using film discussions. Participants were nine Shipibo-Konibo, Awajún and Asháninka peoples, with formal education, and familiar with cinema, from the Amazonian region of Ucayali, Peru. To assess cognitive complexity, the McDaniel and Lawrence scale was employed, while moral reasoning was evaluated using the Heinz dilemma. Qualitative content analysis revealed a development in cognitive complexity and moral reasoning among certain participants. The results are discussed with an emphasis on aspects of the program that can be replicated when working with Amazonian indigenous peoples.KEYWORDS: Moral reasoningcognitive complexitycinemaAmazonian indigenous peoples Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Additional informationFundingThis research was funded by Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú under [grant number 2019-3-0005].Notes on contributorsSusana FrisanchoSusana Frisancho PhD. in Developmental Psychology from Fordham University, New York.

While some form of punishment may be necessary, it is not sufficient. As an instantiation of negative morality, academic misconduct offers an opportunity for moral education. The present investigation builds on the literature related to developmental approaches in responding to academic misconduct. It does so by describing theoretical underpinnings and instructional design of a developmental approach (Intervention), as well as results from a quasi-experimental study of its effects on moral sensitivity. Participants (N = 798) included university students who had been found responsible for academic misconduct and completed the Intervention. As hypothesized, participants not only reported greater attentiveness to moral issues after completing the Intervention, they also demonstrated greater awareness of the moral values related to academic misconduct. The implications and limitations of these findings are discussed.","PeriodicalId":47410,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Moral Education","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135479837","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Yet, academic discourse surrounding the field remains obfuscated. This paper has two aims: First, to provide a broad toolkit to demystify the field of character education, consisting of (i) a basic conceptual GPS for terms like ‘virtue’, ‘character’, ‘morals’ and ‘character education’; and (ii) a lay-of-the-land overview of character education approaches. Second, equipped with this toolkit, we analyse Singapore’s Character and Citizenship Education (CCE) syllabi of 2014 and 2021. Situated within a ‘survivalist’ rhetoric and communitarian tradition, CCE is characterised as a pragmatic, nation-centric amalgamation of various approaches, striving towards a society-oriented goal of maintaining social harmony and cohesion. We identify several tensions in the CCE syllabi, such as its integration of character education and citizenship education, philosophical foundations, curricular content and pedagogical approaches. We argue that elements of neo-Aristotelian virtue ethics offer theoretical scaffolding to address some of these tensions.KEYWORDS: Aristotelian virtues ethicscharacter educationcitizenship educationmoral educationSingapore Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Additional informationNotes on contributorsJasmine B.-Y.

In this study, we adopted a comparative historical approach to examine how China’s civics curriculum has interpreted the meaning of life for young citizens during the transformation of the country from an empire into a nation-state. The data were drawn from 210 school textbooks published between 1902 and 2020. Four historical periods were delineated: the late Qing and Republican era, the Maoist era, the Deng Xiaoping era, and the current Xi Jinping administration. The findings demonstrated the trends and changes that took place while the ideal of citizenship and citizenship education took root, driving the modernisation of Chinese society. Through this study, we contribute to the theoretical discussions on enriching civics curriculum development from a humanist perspective.","PeriodicalId":47410,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Moral Education","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134887181","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
